Chris set for marathon challenge

Chris Walton from Spalding will be running the 2015 Virgin Money London Marathon, raising money for Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance.

Chris said: “I turn 50 in 2015 and haven’t run for 25 years having previously done two half marathons. “I started training in January and have built up from nothing to my longest distance to date of 15 miles. “So far I have run over 300 miles which is over 43 hours in training. At present I train three days a week and after Christmas it will be four days a week. “I expect to double the 300 miles already trained prior to Christmas, and possibly double that before the marathon in April.”
